    Ronnie Johnson Leaving Purdue

    I would not be surprised to see Jeremy leave considering he didn't get much playing time this year and he was in the dog house with Crean.

    Let's not forget that Brad Stevens is making 22 million in the NBA and he led two teams to final game of tournament and had two chances to win, but then agin both Pintino and Cal left to coach college so it is possible I think he is our best option. I agree with 41 lets's move forward and forget hiring a former player. Most programs hire within the program and it could have been Calbert Cheney just like it could have Ray McCallum who should have taken over when Knight got fired and not Davis.

    Box Score (UIC) • Highlights (UIC Game) • Photo Gallery (UIC) Box Score (Toledo) BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana softball team made the most of its home opening weekend this afternoon, as the Hoosiers swept in their first day of the Hoosier Classic at Andy Mohr Field, defeating Illinois-Chicago before upending Toledo, 5-2. Indiana has now won five consecutive contests, improving its overall mark to 7-16-1. The pitching staff prevailed throughout the afternoon, posting a collaborative 1.50 earned run average through two games and combined for 15 strikeouts, which included Meaghan Murphy's season-high eight against Toledo. At the plate, the Hoosiers were led by Kassi Farmer's .500 clip fueled by a multi-homerun performance against the Rockets. Her two round-trippers represent the second multiple-homerun effort on the season (her first against San Jose State on Feb. 8, 2014) and make her just one of three IU players to earn more than one multi-homerun game in their respective careers. Amanda Wagner (2010-13) andSara Olson (2009-11) are the only other Hoosier softball players to do so during their time at Indiana. INDIANA 4, ILLINOIS-CHICAGO 1 The Hoosiers outhit the Flames 5-4 in Indiana's 4-1 victory over UIC. Brianna Meyer, Jenna Abraham, Shelby Gogreve and Erin Lehman all registered hits against UIC's pitching staff, but it would be Lehman's bases loaded triple in the fourth that would be the difference maker for the Cream and Crimson.   Lora Olson started in the circle for the Hoosiers and tossed the first five innings where she allowed just one run on five hits while striking out three. Brooke Boetjer closed out the final frame to pick up her second save of the year.   After a scoreless three innings, Lehman's triple would put the Hoosiers ahead in the bottom of the fourth.Kassi Farmer, Kelsey Dotson and Gogreve drew walks to load up the bases for Lehman. The freshman did not disappoint, driving a three-run triple into right-center field to give IU a 3-0 lead. Meyer's lone single of the contest followed and drove in Lehman for the Hoosiers' fourth run of the ballgame. The Flames answered with a solo homerun in the top of sixth, but Indiana would not relinquish the lead and closed out the contest with a 4-1 win. INDIANA 5, TOLEDO 2 Despite being outhit 11-7 by the Rockets, the Hoosiers used timely hitting united with effective pitching to work its way to a 5-2 victory over Toledo The Hoosiers connected on seven hits in their final game of the day, highlighted by a 2-for-3, two-homerun showing by Farmer. Both of which were of the solo variety, helping her to a pair of RBI and two runs scored. Saucedo also touched for a pair of singles, drove in a run and stole two bases, while Meyer Dotson and Lehman contributed with one hit each. Murphy fanned eight Toledo batters, matching her season high against  Georgia Tech in the Panther Invitational on Feb. 15. The lefty threw the first 5.0 innings and allowed just two earned runs to cross before handing the reigns to Boetjer. Boetjer completed the remaining two innings and struck out the side in the seventh to seal the win for Indiana. Farmers first of two homers sparked a three-run inning for Indiana in the second. Her shot over the centerfield fence was soon followed by a Toledo error and an RBI-single from Saucedo that led to another pair of Hoosier runs. Another homerun by Farmer increased the Indiana lead to 4-0 in the third, but Toledo erased that shot with an RBI-single in the top of the fifth to cut the home team's lead back down to three. Indiana scored once more in the following frame. After Meyer reached on a single, Natalie Lalich laid down the sacrifice bunt. Meyer recognized the lack of coverage at third and advanced two bases on the play. The throw to get her sliding into third was off the mark, allowing Meyer to score and reclaim an IU four-run lead. Boetjer entered in the sixth and quickly worked through the final inning, striking out the side to help Indiana clinch its fifth straight win. The Hoosiers will continue action at the Hoosier Classic tomorrow  where they were originally slated to play one game against Wright State at 4:45 p.m. IU has now added another game on Saturday where they will play UIC at 6:30 p.m. Live stats and live audio will be available for each of those games. http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sports/w-softbl/recaps/031414aac.html

    HOME SWEET HOME   After playing its first 22 games of the season on the road, the Indiana softball team will return to Andy Mohr Field for the first time in 2014 when the Hoosiers host their annual Hoosier Classic in Bloomington, Ind.  Indiana has gone undefeated at the Hoosier Classic since 2011, posting an 11-0 record in those games including its most recent 3-0 effort in 2013. Since the 2011 campaign, Indiana has played to a 35-15 record at home including a 6-9 mark in its first season within the confines of Andy Mohr Field.  A LOOK TOLEDO Toledo will play in the Hoosier Classic for the second straight season after joining the mix in 2013. The Rockets are currently 7-13 on the season and will meet with the Hoosiers for the fifth time in program history. The Hoosiers are 4-0 in the all-time series, with their most recent matchup occuring in the inaugural game at Andy Mohr Field last season that opened the 2013 Hoosier Classic. Indiana would go on to win that contest in five innings, 9-1. The Rockets are hitting .283 on the season with six players hitting above .300, while the UT pitching staff has tossed 129.1 innings with a 3.79 ERA. SCOUTING THE FLAMES Illinois-Chicago will take on Indiana for the 19th time in program history. The Hoosiers lead the all-time series 12-6 and have been victorious the last six consecutive meetings. The Flames are 2-11 overall and will compete in the Hoosier Classic for the third consecutive year. UIC is coached by IU Hall of Famer Michelle Venturalla. Venturella, a two-time All-American at Indiana and a US Olympic Gold Medalist, still holds single season records for runs (57), homeruns (16), RBI (65), doubles (17), slugging percentage (.819) and walks (56). She also still owns the highest career marks in RBI (153) and walks (140). MEETING WITH WRIGHT STATE Wright State is 2-13 this season after coming off of a 1-3 weekend at the Winthrop/ADIDAS Invitational in Rock Hill, SC. The Raiders and Hoosiers will meet for the 10th time in program history. Indiana leads that series 7-2 and won in the squads' pervious meeting 2011, 6-3. Wright State pitchers have posted an 5.80 ERA through 91.2 innings, while the Raiders bats are hitting at a .189 clip. GARDNER EARNS 300th WIN With the Hoosiers' 3-1 win over Valparaiso in Boise, Idaho last weekend, sixth year head coach Michelle Gardner earned her 300th career victory. Gardner, who landed her first head coaching job back in 2002 with Nevada, is now 300-345-1 (.464) in her coaching career with a 113-169-1 (.399) through six seasons at the helm in Indiana.   LAST TIME OUT The Hoosiers finished the SpringHill Suites Invitational on a strong note, taking their final three games of the weekend for victories to improve to 5-16-1 on the season. IU had four players hit over .300 on the weekend, highlighted by Michelle Huber's .357 batting average and .714 slugging percentage.In the circle, Indiana's hurlers combined for a 2.55 ERA in 33.0 innings and held opponents to just a .242 average. Lora Olson shined for the Hoosiers as she went 2-1 on the weekend with an impressive 0.86 ERA. The junior averaged four strikeouts per appearance and allowed just two earned runs. http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sports/w-softbl/spec-rel/031314aad.html

    It's interesting when people use the word and yet have no idea what it evens mean. The thing that really rubs me the wrong way is when it gets used to describe a special ed kid.

    I remember looking at it a long time ago and noticed that the website had the same server but didn't even think about it and then I noticed that some people had left for some reason or another.
